Objectives: To investigate the long-term success (10-year results) of arthroscopic surgery of the temporomandibular joint. Patients and Method: A survey was undertaken of 37 patients who had been treated with arthroscopic surgery for TMJ internal derangement from 1986 to 1990. Thirty-three patients...

Arthroscopy of the left TMJ revealed an anterior disc displacement without reduction, a 1cm2 postero-lateral disc perforated extending from the retrodiscal tissue to the posterior ligament, accompanied by concurrent degenerative changes.Springer IndiaJournal of Maxillofacial and Oral SurgeryBarone, Simona...
Magnetic resonance and double contrast arthrotomographic examination showed findings of bony changes and posteromedial disc displacement without reduction of the left TMJ.Arthroscopic surgery of the left TMJ was performed under general anesthesia. Arthroscopic examination disclosed early stages of chondromalacia...
Before surgery, the average maximum incisal opening was 30mm, which increased to 41mm at 6 months postsurgery (P<0.001).#The described technique represents an excellent alternative for managing patients with disk perforations.Lippincott Williams & WilkinsThe Journal of Craniofacial SurgeryDaniel Jerez...
TMJ closed-lock before arthroscopy was 6.97 months, ranging from 0.5 to 96 months. Those patients had experienced severe TMJ pain and/or disturbance at mouth opening and were refractory following nonsurgical treatments aimed at alleviating their symptoms. Patients with previous TMJ surgery, systemic ...
Temporomandibular joint disorders (TMJD) are not rare in the general population and the patients not responding to conservative therapies are candidates for surgery. Among surgical interventions, arthrocentesis, arthroscopic interventions and anatomic restoration via arthrotomy are the most popular methods....
Dislocation of the temporomandibular joint and repositioning of the dislocated mandible are important topics in oral and maxillofacial surgery. The first surgical techniques for preventing and treating recurrent mandibular dislocation were described in the late 1800s and the early 1900s [1, 2].Salvatore...
Conservative management alone provided significant reduction of pain-discomfort and clinical dysfunction, while arthroscopic surgery resulted in significant reduction in articular disc derangement. The midlaser with TMJ/occlusal stabilization maintained significant improvement in the variables (p<0.01) for both...
Patients and Methods: Arthroscopic surgery was performed on 114 temporomandibular joints in 88 patients who had significant pain or dysfunction and whose condition had failed to improve with conservative treatment. Synovial fluid aspirates were obtained immediately before arthroscopy and used for the determ...
